It will be extremely tough for Williams to break through the Bengals’ depth chart to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, with the Bengals likely only keeping four running backs.

2nd-round pick Joe Mixon and returnees Hill and Bernard are locked in for the top three spots, while Cedric Peerman should be selected for his special teams abilities as long as he can return from injury prior to the September 2nd roster cuts.

Cincinnati will likely sign one running back to their practice squad as well, so Jarveon will be competing for that final spot with practice squad returnee Tra Carson and fellow undrafted free agent Boom Williams.

Odds to make 53-man roster: 1%

Odds to make practice squad: 10%

You can watch Williams in the Bengals’ four preseason matchups, including a nationally-televised game against the Washington Redskins in Week 3, which will air on FOX.

David Morgan entered the NFL last season as UTSA’s first ever draft pick and ended the year with 12 games and 63 offensive snaps under his belt.

Along the way, he received praise from his coaching staff and media alike. So much so that the Vikings were willing to let incumbent blocking tight end Rhett Ellison move on to the New York Giants during the offseason.

DAVID MORGAN

Team: Minnesota Vikings

Position: Tight End

Experience: 1 year

MINNESOTA VIKINGS TIGHT END DEPTH

Kyle Rudolph, 6 years experience

David Morgan, 1 year experience

Bucky Hodges, Rookie (Drafted, Round 6)

Kyle Carter, 1 year practice squad experience

Nick Truesdell, Rookie (3 years in AFL)

Josiah Price, Rookie

7th-year man Kyle Rudolph will retain his spot as the #1 tight end heading into the season, and Morgan is the obvious choice to replace Ellison as the first-choice blocking tight end, earning snaps alongside Rudolph in two-TE sets.

Ellison saw action on about 18 offensive snaps and 12 special teams snaps per game while getting targeted in the passing game a total of 14 times in 15 games. We can expect to see similar numbers from Morgan this year.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the depth chart below Rudolph and Morgan, with four guys who are all primarily pass-catching tight ends competing for one or two spots on the 53-man roster.

Odds to make 53-man roster: 100%

After kicking off their preseason with a visit to Buffalo tonight, the Vikings will head to Seattle and then return to face the 49ers in back-to-back nationally televised games before hosting the Dolphins in their preseason finale.

Sheldon Rankins should be a shoo-in as a starter in his second season after being drafted 12th overall a season ago. He missed the first half of his rookie year with a broken leg, but upon his return proved why he was worth a 1st-round draft pick.

Preliminary depth charts have Davison as the other starter, but reports out of training camp have Onyemata taking more of the first-team reps. The pair seem to be 2A and 2B in the pecking order for the time being.

With only four defensive tackles likely making the 53-man roster, that leaves one spot left that Mabry will be fighting for. It will take an inspired preseason performance for either Mabry or Zimmer to beat out the veteran McDaniel, so the practice squad will be his most likely landing spot once again.

Odds to make practice squad: 80%

Mabry and the Saints will be in action tonight against Cleveland, followed by a nationally televised game as they visit the new-look Los Angeles Chargers and their 27,000-seat MLS stadium.

Brian Price may be the most intriguing NFL prospect hailing from UTSA this year.

After a 2016 season that saw Price earn a very brief stint on the gameday roster, along with extended time on the Packers’ practice squad, things are looking up for the second-year defensive tackle.

Price was rewarded last season, with Green Bay bumping his salary from the practice squad minimum $6,900/week up to $26,465/week following an attempt from the Colts to sign him late in the year.

He was also signed to a futures deal at the conclusion of last season, guaranteeing his spot in Green Bay heading into this year.

BRIAN PRICE

Team: Green Bay Packers

Position: Nose Tackle

Experience: 1 year

The Packers released defensive tackle Letroy Guion earlier this week amidst concerns about a DWI over the summer, in addition to an unrelated 4-game suspension that he would have served to begin the season.

GREEN BAY PACKERS DEFENSIVE LINE DEPTH

Mike Daniels, 5 years experience

Kenny Clark, 1 year experience

Dean Lowry, 1 year experience

Ricky Jean Francois, 8 years experience

Christian Ringo, 2 years experience

Brian Price, 1 year experience

Montravius Adams, Rookie (Drafted, 3rd Round) (injured)

Izaah Lunsford, Rookie (Undrafted)

Defensive coordinator Dom Capers likes to rotate guys along the three-man front, and the Packers typically carry seven defensive linemen on their 53-man roster, giving Price a very good shot at making the cut this year.

Daniels, Clark, and Lowry currently look to be the likely starters heading into the regular season, while veteran Ricky Jean Francois should also be a lock to make the roster coming off the bench.

Christian Ringo looks to retain his roster spot from last season and will be in competition with Price and Adams for the fifth spot on the depth chart.

Highly-touted 3rd-round draft pick Montravius Adams is currently injured and may miss the start of the season, which could lead Green Bay to also retain Lunsford or just go with six guys on the line until Adams gets healthy.

Odds to make 53-man roster: 95%

Odds to make practice squad: 5%

Green Bay, unfortunately, doesn’t have any nationally televised games this preseason, but you can watch Price and the Packers in action on NFL Network when they replay the games, or by subscribing to NFL Game Pass.
